FLIER OF'TEXTILE MACHINES.

Application filed December 31,1921. Seria1NoV5 26 3 28.

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, EMILE BLHLALIEU, a British subject, residing at Rossal Beach, county of Lancaster, England, have invent ed certain new and useful Improvements in the Fliers of Textile Machines,of which the following is a specification. j

This invention relates to the fliers for the spindles of fly frames used in the preparingof textile fibres for spinning known as slubbin intermediate rovin and 'ack frames the body pressedconcave to encircle one leg of the flier and cover the slit therein, the flier is forged with solid legs, one being slotted or grooved to form a passage for the slub orrove.

The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanyingdrawings.

' Fig. 1. is a front elevation of flier and presser. V

Fig. 2. is a sectional elevation of flier with presser removed.

Fig. 3. is an end elevation of flier leg and presser.

Fig. 4. is a plan of flier partly in section at 44 Fig. 1.

Fig. 5. is a sectional plan at 5-5 Fig. 2.

Fig. 6. is a sectional plan at 6-6 Fig. 1.

Fig. 7. is a section at,77 Fig.1.

Fig. 8. is an extended blank of presser.

Fig. 9. is a front elevation of pressereremoved from flier.

Fig. 10. is a sectional plan at 101O Fig. 9.

Fig. 11. is a section of modification of presser and hollow leg.

The flier is of the ordinary shape with a hollow or slotted leg A having a yarn passage a through it and a solid leg B. V The presser D is stamped from a flat blank of sheet metal 8 with two lateral extending members cl 0? to form clips by which to secure it to the flier leg A and a downwardly extending member to form the arm or paddle The body of the presser is pressed by a suitable die to a concave form to correspond with the contour of the flier leg A and is preferably weighted and bent outwards along one edge at d 'to causeitrto j swivel around theflier leg when the flier is revolving and maintain the paddleEin contact with and exert the desired amount of pressure upon the surface ofthe slub or rove as 1t is wound upon 1ts bobbin, or it may be stamped deeper to add weight as shown in,

Fig. 11. V The presser arm 6 is bent to bring the paddle E to the desired position approxilately Tat right les to the flier leg and the paddle is pierced with an eye to receive and guide therove on to the bobbin.

The lateral members d and d are bent round t'oembrace theflier leg the top one being formed with'a groove (1 to correspond with a recess or socket a? drilled in the flier leg into which a small ball is placed to pre-' vent a relative movement longitudinally between the flier leg and the presserbody.

. The flier may be forged with two solid 1 I 7 legs and the leg A slotted from end to end to form the yarn passage on therethrough. The

slot wmay be cut with a milling cutter and the. upper. portion from c to f' 1nay be drilled and the slot sawn through with a fine saw. Part of the leg A of the flier. may be machined away at a and the lip pressed over to close the edge of slot to a fine gauge and leave a very narrow entrance for the rove. V r .j

The concave body D of the presser is soattached to the hollow leg A of the flier thatwhen in position for piecing, the edge of the 7 presser body 'is' just clear of the slit. in the flier leg see Fig. 3, but when working it covers the slit all the time, thus preventing the air from withdrawing the rove from the passage and also keeping the slit clean and preventing fly or foreign matter from gathering therein, to the detriment of the rove or slub passing down the flier leg.

It is considered that a considerable reducj i tion in vibration will ensue from this conloo struction, and the rove or slub will be kept cleaner from fly and lumps.

,What I claim'as my invention and desire to protect by Letters Patent is 1. A flier fortextile preparing machines forged withtwo solid legs and comprising,

when finished, a solid leg, a second solid leg. with a longitudinal slit machined therein.

throughout its length to receive the rove" and a presser stamped from sheetmetal of concave shape and so disposed thereon asfto a cover and close the; slit when in operation.

comprising in its construction ;a;solid leg, a engage therewith. I hollow leg with a yarn passage machined In testimony whereof I have hereunto set therein throughout its length, a resser my hand in presence of two subscribing wit 5 stamped from sheet m'eta l, the body part nesses.

being concave to embrace the hollowleg and cover the slit therein, when in operation, and

provided with annular clips toencircle the Vitnesses: flier leg and secure the presser thereto, a ball J. OWDEN OBRIEN, 10 placed in a recess in the flier leg and a groove GEORGE H. OBRIEN.
